What are the most common Pediatric clinic complaints? I would like to prepare for clinical sessions. Thank you.

From a patient perspective: too many vaccinations at one visit, not enough time to go indepth on concerns

From a provider perspective: guardians frequently unprepared, pushing along issues that require focus in order to maintain clinic flow

Hey thanks for your question I have worked as a pediatric phone triage nurse for 7 years now and I think two of
The most common complaints would be abdominal pain and constipation in the infant and pediatric or school aged populations. It is important to rule out more acute causes for the abdominal pain such as appendicitis etc, ileus etc and often times it is caused by constipation. Constipation in the infant can be caused by recent change in diet (adding solids or even formula changes) and constipation in older or school aged children may also be diet related. These are two common themes I see over and over in a general pediatric office.
